08:16 AM ET 11.22 | Outfielder Jonny Gomes has 10 million reasons to be more thankful this Thanksgiving. The Chronicle has learned that [Gomes] has agreed to a two-year, $10 million contract with Boston, but the deal won't be official for another day or two upon completion of the physical and some paperwork. That's about double what the A's had offered Gomes when they gave him a two-year extension proposal in September. A number of contenders were interested in Gomes, who played a substantial role in Oakland's terrific 2012 season. A Red Sox exec told me recently that Boston thinks highly of Gomes' leadership abilities. ... Along with his strong clubhouse presence, Gomes contributed on the field, with an impressive 18 homers in fewer than 300 at-bats.

As a Sox fan, I am highly skeptical of this signing. Yes, I can see Gomes banging some shots off the wall, but...he's a part time player.

Show me a team full of players who meed a manager to motivate and lead them, and I'll show you a team full of losers.

gomes could surprise everybody by playing in every game at the red sox team,,,
i mean he hit 262avg, drove 50 R,B,I,S and hit 18 homeruns in only 300 at bats?? that should do the trick,,,

55 million per year isn't much, plus they can do with him what Oakland planned to do--trade him at the deadline for young suspects to a team that needs a right-handed power bat.

brandon McCARTHY/ tommy millone/brett anderson/travis blackley/ bartolo colon/A.J griffin/jarrod parker/dan straily/ plus all the A's relievers were just too disciplined in their bullpen!!

i think aside from needing a tough offensive lineup, the red sox should get their coaching staff in the right gear to say the least!!!

the A's have great team work plus they showed alot in their humble approach at the plate and in the mound, this A's team succesfull season was all thanks to the good work at the coaching staff, chili davis/ and rickey henderson were a tough duo on their spots as hitting coach and bench coach!!
